Ax, Perlman, Ma trio to make world premiere performance at Penn State

University Park, Pa. — Three of the biggest names in music -- pianist Emanuel Ax, violinist Itzhak Perlman and cellist Yo-Yo Ma -- make their world debut as a trio in a once-in-a-lifetime Center for the Performing Arts presentation next March at Eisenhower Auditorium, University Park.
 
The trio is scheduled to perform only twice -- March 30, 2009, at Eisenhower, and the following evening at New York City's Carnegie Hall.
